This is about plans for a drill at the Baltimore/Washington International
Airport (BWI)..."

*****

BWI [Baltimore/Washington International Airport] is conducting a drill/exercise
at the airport Saturday, April 23, 2005. The scenario is a commercial
airline crash within the perimeter of the airport. They will be simulating
putting out the fire, triaging patients/victims, transporting to hospital
sites and the airline will be testing its plan for taking care of Families
and Friends.

To that end, the American Red Cross is coordinating volunteers for
the drill: They need 120 to play as crash victims and 30 to 40 friends
and family.

The drill will begin at 9AM and conclude about 2PM. However, volunteers
will need to arrive at 6 am as victims will be moulaged and friends
and family members will be briefed on their roles.

If you would like to volunteer:
Please forward me your name, current phone number and current e-mail
address.

We are still in planning stages and more information will be forthcoming.

Please let me know by Thursday, March 24, 2005 if you would be interested
in participating.
